Nice run!

How was the track? I'm thinking that with a little more VHT, you'd be able to knock another 0.2 off your 60' time.

traction was not an issue, well actually I was getting too much traction. I could not brake torque the car because it was just pushing the car even with the front wheels locked. I have a few things I am going to play with on Saturday.

The 11.4 was on the MT Street E/T's, they don't handle like the Corsas, car gets light feeling in the rear at about 110 mph.

Depends on the temp and conditions, I have run as low as 16psi and as high as 20psi. The night I made the 11.48 pass I was running 20psi on a perfectly prepped track.

Drag strip results are among the least impressive advantages of driving this car.
